Chapter 14: Little Red Riding Hood
"Well, that's a good idea," Rhona tapped on Jill's back, and now the commander with the battle flag was particularly conspicuous, "You're worth ten now." ”
Charles glanced at the red-haired female knight, a woman who looked pretty good, and showed no mercy. The unlucky ghost who was hacked to death by a sword just now is obviously going to repair the **. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart...... He didn't want to become a dead man so early, so he decided to fight hard.
And according to the prophecy of the dream, his lifespan is estimated to be only half a year, unless he can be strong enough to change his fate, otherwise what awaits him is a dead end. This world will not take in the weak, even if he is a citizen of the Undead Empire, if he is not strong enough to support himself, he will be made into a skeleton as a coolie. In the limited time he had, he had to maximize his strength.
According to the current situation, there are three ways for him to gain power, using the level that he can't see in combat to obtain attribute improvements, learning powerful skills, and obtaining high-level equipment. So it's essential for him to fight for side skills now, and fighting more people will also increase his strength.
The direction is right, but it always feels weird. Since the comrades who went out to scout have not returned, it is time for the Charr team to spot the enemy on guard. But the trio didn't notice anything but the water and the scurrying snakes and rats.
With Charles's current five senses, he must be able to detect the death rider apprentice within ten meters, if the other party can really completely avoid his own scouts, then there is no need to send that guy to death just now.
Carefully clearing the grass, Charles stole a glance out into the clearing, which was supposed to be the base of another team, similar to where they had been.
But apart from an equally green flag, Charles was nowhere to be seen.
"It's scared away, it's really a bunch of scum," Rona flicked her sword a little bored, and casually cut the little snake on the tree to pieces, "but this is a good way, if you are injured in battle, as long as you dodge, you can get out of the way when the flag is removed." ”
Charles expertly plucked the second flag, then tied it to himself with a rope. If this flag is also given to Jill, the Lord will bear too many points, which is very dangerous.
However, Charles didn't think that the mentor would really choose a few apprentices who ran away before they even went to war, and Uther had more backup options.
If you think about it another way, the people here didn't run away, which means that the vacant base was most likely attacked, but the attackers didn't want the flag......
"Are there any non-contestants on the field?" Charles wanted to turn around and ask Jill, but on second thought, he tilted his head to Rhona's side.
Rhona, who looked around for the enemy, was obviously much more reliable than Jill who was lying in the shade of a tree. But how does such a lazy guy have such strong combat skills......
"Don't look at Jill being lazy, the head of the family of Ginat is a generation of dead riders who have inherited the blood of the first generation of dead riders," listening to the red-haired female swordsman's tone of indifference, it is estimated that this is also where the eldest lady came from, "Dear junior brother, if you mean a third-party creature that will take the initiative to attack, like the little snake I killed just now, but there has been no stronger thing than that in the past." ”
Just because there wasn't before doesn't mean that there isn't now, and when the tutor doesn't care about the life and death of the student, the ghost knows what these guys will get out. Charles crouched on the ground and touched the ground around the flag. Aside from the back-and-forth footprints, there are few clues to be seen. There was no trace of a fight at all, could it really be ...... they ran away?
Because it had only rained, the direction of the footprints on the ground was quite clear, and the last extended direction was where Jill was sitting in the shade.
"Jill, why do you have a little girl behind you?" Charles subconsciously touched his hand to the sword, the red cloak and red hat were worn like Little Red Riding Hood, but there was no big bad wolf here!
Covering his eyes and crying, Little Red Riding Hood spoke with a crying tone, "Uncle, uncle, do you know where my grandmother is?" ”
What the hell is the training ground, even children's horror stories have been added. Charles stopped Jill who was about to approach with one hand, and asked how it could be normal Lori to ask for directions in such a place.
The temperature around Lori was noticeably cooler, damp and greasy, and Charles could even smell the smell of blood in the air around her. The strange hallucinations were mixed with intuition, and just by feeling the breath coming from the other party, Charles felt that he would be easily killed by the other party.
Traps? These mentors really know how to play.
"Big brother, do you know where my grandmother is?" Little Red Riding Hood spoke again, but the echo lines trembled slightly, with obvious impatience.
Cut, Charles felt that his breath was locked, Little Red Riding Hood obviously didn't look at him, but he felt as if he was being grabbed by the hands and feet of death, and the next second he would be torn to pieces.
"Little girl, have you met the hunter?" Charles asked softly.
"Yes, but he said he didn't see his grandmother." This time, Lori's breath was a little more normal.
If you can talk normally, you can unlock the puzzle as long as you can get the information about the puzzle. According to the story of Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood first met a wolf in the forest, then the wolf ate her grandmother, then Little Red Riding Hood, and finally the hunter killed the wolf and rescued Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother from the wolf's belly. But now Little Red Riding Hood has met the hunter, but not the grandmother.
Where did the wolf go? If you point in any direction, you are likely to be pointed out by Little Red Riding Hood for lying and then killing in a rage. If it is said that it was eaten by the big bad wolf, Little Red Riding Hood will also point out lying and be killed, because the wolf has already been eaten by Little Red Riding Hood.
Where did the hunters go?
"He lied, and he must have seen it, so I punished him." Little Red Riding Hood said angrily.
Well, the suspect has confessed, and the hunter's whereabouts have been determined. Little Red Riding Hood ate the big bad wolf that broke into the house, and then ate the hunter who came to the door,
It must not be said that Grandma was eaten by her along with the big bad wolf, otherwise the next person to be eaten would be Charles.
"I saw her go back with a few people, and I remember that those people had little red flags in their homes."
"But my grandmother said she would never eat people again." Little Red Riding Hood's tone was filled with distrust, and black smoke spread under the brim of his hat.
Is grandma actually an ogre who swears not to eat people...... But now that Charles's thinking is clearer, for the sake of fairness, it's definitely not just him, Little Red Riding Hood here. Thor's apprentice must have an equally threatening monster with a terrifying aura similar to Little Red Riding Hood. It's the grandmother who swore not to eat human flesh, but since she doesn't eat people, why is this ogre running away......
"She went hunting for her beloved granddaughter." Charles caught the truth.
Little Red Riding Hood paused, and Charles saw the black qi spreading around him retract, "Really, really...... Grandma, did you really arrest someone for Little Red Riding Hood!? ”
It's not a human face at all, it's like a crayon drawing out of the eyebrows, and under the eyes, there is a big mouth full of red fangs, and the gaze is constantly trembling as if it can't be fixed, and the moment he sees Little Red Riding Hood's face, Charles' hairs stand on end, and the fear of death instantly seeps into the bone marrow.
"Really." Charles rested his hand on the hilt of his sword once more, the intense feeling of terror that made his palms sweat.
"Thank you, big brother, I won't eat you today." Little Red Riding Hood, who was only on Charles' waist, opened her exaggerated mouth, and then bowed to Charles, who had provided her with a message, "I'll wait for my grandmother at home, goodbye." ”
Bowing lightly to the trio, Little Red Riding Hood turned and jumped into the darkness of the woods.
"The remaining two were really eaten by her." Lorna picked out two legs from the grass, and the broken gear hanging from them was clearly not the same person.
The strong sense of threat just now, Charles remembers it vividly, that kind of thing is not something he can deal with at this level, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the paladin who killed him in his dream to deal with this thing. I really don't know how this kind of thing could be put into the arena, in case all the contestants are wiped out, is it the winner of the competition is Little Red Riding Hood......?
The ground was covered with bushes, and the mage of the referee and commentator sat in the crystal screen in the air, his face flushed as if he had drunk wine, and he was as excited as if he had drunk wine, "Today we are fortunate to have Mr. Dietrich, the famous spellcaster!" This time, he will provide third-party creatures in the field, which will create more spectacle for our game! ”
The camera pans to a spellcaster who looks like a dried corpse, and then he makes a laughing face on the screen, but it is clear that his movements are so great that half of his jaw is pulled and falls......
Well, the zealous lich of the castle's military academy cafeteria......
However, Charles didn't know that Little Red Riding Hood was a puppet made by the undead gourmand Dietrich, and his focus was still on his grandmother.
Little Red Riding Hood's premise is to ask questions when you meet someone, and eat them if you make a mistake. And grandma's setting is to follow a random team and eat the team members inside. It would be unfair if Grandma was as strong as Little Red Riding Hood. So for the sake of fairness, Little Red Riding Hood's combat power should be much stronger than Grandma's.
Now there is another question, what will happen if Grandma is killed by Thor's men......
There are other traps on the battlefield for sure, and it's just when Charles will run into them.
Although the eight points that should have belonged to their team are gone, they still solved the first trap.
Now what the Shire team has to do is to find the remaining broiler team in the shortest possible time, and then kill the other party.
But here's the problem...... Where are those guys squatting......
"Go in that direction." Jill, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly looked up and pointed to the small dirt slope not far away.
"How do you know it's over there?" To be honest, Charles doesn't really believe this guy.
Jill sniffed lightly twice, "Don't underestimate my nose, after all, I'm a real big bad wolf......"
